It's hard to describe exactly what it
is that draws us to the calming waters
of the lake. Maybe it's the warm glow
of an early morning sunrise, birds
flying in formation, or the ripples
of the water behind a boat's wake.
Whatever it is that may draw us there,
we leave inspired and restored, looking
for a way to capture it.
That same inspiration has found
its way to a community of artists all
across the state, bound together by
a love of their craft and their love of
the lake. Artists also bring the Lake
Martin community together each year
at Arti Gras, a Russell Lands On Lake
Martin art show.
Many artists are native to the area
or have found themselves drawn to
the lake's shores and its surrounding
communities. Their inspiration and
art forms vary, but their contribution
to bringing the arts to the lake is
invaluable. For some, it's been a lifetime
endeavor. For others, it's a side project.
One of these artists is Romaine
Crockett, an Auburn-based potter
